Distinct evolutionary trajectories of primary high-grade serous ovarian cancers revealed through spatial mutational profiling.High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) is characterized by poor outcome, often attributed to emergence of treatment-resistant sub-clones. We sought to measure the degree of genomic diversity within p...

Genome-wide microRNA and messenger RNA profiling in rodent liver development implicates mir302b and mir20a in repressing transforming growth factor-beta signaling.MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are recently discovered small RNA molecules that regulate developmental processes, such as proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis; however, the identity of miRNAs and their f...

Genomic and epigenomic landscapes of adult de novo acute myeloid leukemia.BACKGROUND: Many mutations that contribute to the pathogenesis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are undefined. The relationships between patterns of mutations and epigenetic phenotypes are not yet c...

The shaping and functional consequences of the microRNA landscape in breast cancer.MicroRNAs (miRNAs) show differential expression across breast cancer subtypes, and have both oncogenic and tumour-suppressive roles. Here we report the miRNA expression profiles of 1,302 breast tumour...

Analysis of FOXO1 mutations in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) accounts for 30% to 40% of newly diagnosed lymphomas and has an overall cure rate of approximately 60%. Previously, we observed FOXO1 mutations in non-Hodgkin lym...

Clonal evolution of high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma from primary to recurrent disease.High-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) is the most common and fatal form of ovarian cancer. While most tumors are highly sensitive to cytoreductive surgery and platinum- and taxane-based chemotherapy, the...

DNA template strand sequencing of single-cells maps genomic rearrangements at high resolution.DNA rearrangements such as sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) are sensitive indicators of genomic stress and instability, but they are typically masked by single-cell sequencing techniques. We develope...

Genetic alterations activating kinase and cytokine receptor signaling in high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia.Genomic profiling has identified a subtype of high-risk B-progenitor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) with alteration of IKZF1, a gene expression profile similar to BCR-ABL1-positive ALL and poor ...

From sequence to molecular pathology, and a mechanism driving the neuroendocrine phenotype in prostate cancer.The current paradigm of cancer care relies on predictive nomograms which integrate detailed histopathology with clinical data. However, when predictions fail, the consequences for patients are often c...

The clonal and mutational evolution spectrum of primary triple-negative breast cancers.Primary triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs), a tumour type defined by lack of oestrogen receptor, progesterone receptor and ERBB2 gene amplification, represent approximately 16% of all breast cance...

Concurrent CIC mutations, IDH mutations, and 1p/19q loss distinguish oligodendrogliomas from other cancers.Oligodendroglioma is characterized by unique clinical, pathological, and genetic features. Recurrent losses of chromosomes 1p and 19q are strongly associated with this brain cancer but knowledge of th...
